Leo's been here seven months


(and one day).
Besides sprouting a few hairs on his head, here are the other mature things Leo does:
  • He sits all by himself
  • Gets up on all fours and rocks
  • Eats carrots, peas, squash and sweet potatoes and is eager to try fruit or just about anything on our plates
  • He talks about things like "blah blah blah" and "dah dah dah" and "mah mah mah"
  • He laughs when we tickle him under his chin (or really, just when we put Aquaphor on his neck and he thinks we're tickling him)
  • He's interested in everything, wants to grab stuff and put it in his mouth
  • He drools a lot but we haven't seen any signs of teeth
  • Just this past week he seemed to notice a difference between mommy and daddy and everyone else
  • He still spits up and now it's colored.

Here's what Leo likes:

  • Books about hippos
  • Eating books (about hippos or otherwise)
  • Eating mommy's hair
  • Eating mommy's glasses
  • Eating his own socks
  • Eating food
  • Playing with Edison, the alphabet catepillar (Thanks, Charlie and Colman!)
  • Listening to mommy talk on the phone
  • Using daddy as a jungle gym
  • Riding in one of his four strollers
  • Being held while walking around (don't even think about sitting)!
  • Songs that involve someone touching his feet like Over the River and Through the Woods, the part that goes "It stings the toes and bites the nose.."
  • Playing peekaboo
